Q: Is the problem with the Kalquorian females in the eggs, or in the
ability to carry to term, or is it both, because, if it is the eggs/ovaries,
could they carry a fertilized donor egg from an earth female?
A: The problem is in the x-chromosome, of which females have two. That is why females suffer the most devastating abnormalities and often don't make it past birth (if they make it to birth at all). Keep an eye on Shalia's Diary in the coming months. The issue of a Kalquorian carrying an Earther donor egg will play a part in the eleventh storyline.
Thanks for the question!
Do you have a question for me? Leave it in the comments section, and I may answer it in an upcoming blog.
If its in the x-chromosome, will the future hybrid children display some of the inabilities to carry since they are half Kalqurian? Or will there more likely be rare cases where a hybrid child can't carry but the earther genes mostly fix the problem?
ReplyDeleteEarther genetics override many of the issues, plus there are a few medical issues that can be corrected while the baby is still in the womb. There will still be instances where the damage shows up in the hybrids...just not as badly and far more seldom.
